Oh hai, Javert. He knew exactly where Valjean had to come out with Marius.
Oh, good God, do they not explain that he was following Thenardier to begin with? That would just make no sense at all, otherwise. Total deux et machina.
Javert helps him with Marius and takes him in his own coach to M. Gillenormand -- that is brick canon, I think.
Yep, completely.
Was it Javert who thought his grandfather would be satisfied with the corpse? I think that's a product of him being completely sure Marius would die, which is also canon.
doesn't listen to the guy telling him that he's not like everybody else
Oooh, explain further, please?
Valjean tells Gillenormand about Javert killing himself, and then hands over Cosette's dowry. In turn, Gillenormand allows them to marry.
...but how does he know? Unless this is noticeably later on, after he reads about it in the paper (and also apparently hears about it through word of mouth, though Hugo never expands on where, or from who. Which drives me nuts.)
Valjean tells Marius everything because Javert is dead and nobody else knows who he is? Er, what?? He claims he loves Cosette, not like a father but -- eurgh, what a pervy idea! Or does he simply claim it so Marius stops pitying him? Why does he keep wanting Marius to hate him and be strict to him? Does he want a replacement for Javert somehow? What is this even?
CAN I PUT MY SLASH GOGGLES ON NOW, PLZ!?
But seriously, whaaaaaat? I mean, the bit with J. The bit with the way he loves Cosette is a bastardisation of something Hugo said - I re-read it the other day, and there's a very interesting line in there I can't get my head around, but whatever - and...yeah, I don't think Hugo meant it quite so oddly as all that.
But Marius is definitely a total prick to him for a while.
Huh. So. I...yeah. I'm glad it's good on the whole! There are definitely some things that are making me scratch my head, but idk, I'll have to watch it to see if they make more sense in the flesh. *learns French*
